It's difficult to tell just how popular an open source project is, but
|
||
with OpenLP's Facebook following growing it seems safe to say that
|
||
OpenLP's popularity is also growing. Version 2.0 is really starting to
|
||
look like a mature finished product. The recent release of the first
|
||
beta has been very positive. We are now suggesting that all new users
|
||
start out with 2.0 Beta 1, since support has now officially ended for
|
||
the 1.x series and 2.0 has reached a very stable point in its
|
||
development.
|
||
|
||
The OpenLP community is constantly growing and changing. We can always
|
||
use an extra hand as OpenLP is a large project. We could especially use
|
||
assistance writing the documentation for version 2.0. The developers are
|
||
working hard to make sure that OpenLP is not just an alternative to
|
||
commercial software but that it is a superior option. Part of being a
|
||
superior product is having great documentation and support. If you are
|
||
like me and not a programmer but would like to help out, maybe assisting
|
||
with documentation is a place you can help out. If documentation is not
|
||
for you, but you are good at helping others we can always use help
|
||
answering questions in the forums or providing support in IRC.
|
||
|
||
Since I am someone whose church has been blessed by the developers of
|
||
OpenLP I would like to also take a moment to thank them for their hard
|
||
work and dedication. It is rare, even in the Christian world, for a
|
||
group of people to set out to do something with no hope of physical or
|
||
monetary reward. The developers of OpenLP truly are doing this by making
|
||
this product available to all and asking nothing in return. As we enter
|
||
the Easter season may we all be more like this and ultimately learn from
|
||
Christ selflessness as he gave himself for us who did not deserve it.
|
||
|
||
5But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our
|
||
iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and
|
||
with his stripes we are healed.
|
||

Isaiah 53:5, ESV
